Can I change a thumbnail on a video?
Right now it is showing a black screen, is there a way to add a thumbnail image from my video as the cover instead of a black screen?

Running into this exact problem. I would love to be able to pick a thumbnail image from the video! Any update on this feature?

Hi Hannah, thanks for checking in. We don't have any updates to share yet, but we will post them here as soon as we do.

This is really irritating ... adding a "phantom" image to the start of a video is really time consuming, and anyway, I sometimes use thumbnails that aren't part of the video. No-one is asking you to become a YouTube, but this is just SO simple.
The default could remain as the opening shot of the video, with an option to override it with another image.

I've just submitted a support case for this function as it was a real pain having to add an image to all my videos and then had to export them again and then re-insert them back in the Rise course. I would have thought this would be a normal feature of adding videos. It will be interesting to hear what Articulate comes back with as this has been an issue for over 2-3 years now. At least I know for next time when I create the videos :)

I think articulate have fixed this issue atleast in storyline.. not sure about rise or am i missing something here!!

You can in Storyline set a poster frame (right-click on the video) BUT not in Rise. I am using Rise and need to have something other than a white or black frame for the poster frame. I ended up adding an image to the first 10 frames of the video and then re-exported it out to insert into Rise. The way I did it worked but not everyone has video editing software and time to add images into their videos :)

Is there an update to this request? I believe this is a much needed feature.

Yet another feature that most apps have that Rise refuses to implement. What a shock.
